Miserable run, but at least it wasn't as bad as Faster's! Went out after dark (very easy, as the sun set about 2:10) for my Sunday 2-hour long run, on a route I've done many times in daylight. Turns out the woods look very different in the dark. I took a wrong turn,  and came out onto a road I'd never seen before. I was on an island, so it wasn't like I'd be lost forever, but it took some time and more wrong turns and stops and retracing to finally find a place I recognized. 

Oh, well. I probably shouldn't attempted that route in the dark, but it's been closed off for several weeks--okay, it was still closed off last night, but I let myself be tempted by the idea of peaceful, snowy woods and sort of avoided the barriers. The good part is that when I found my way out, I discovered another way to get back into the woods without having to deal with the closed section at all. So it's all good in the end.

Was happy to be joined by the mister (who is feeling stronger and stronger), as well as a friend for some early, muddy miles yesterday morning. It was fun and I felt good. My hip has been feeling "sticky" which I am attributing to sitting at my desk during the week. 

QOTD: I'm such a low-baller, but I was pretty pleased with three straight months of 100 miles, despite losing my running partner/husband/trail guy to injuries throughout the fall.
